I switched from TanStack Virtual to LegendList 3.0 beta. Guess now I will switch back...

We can now build Linux kernel from source with @bazelbuild using @buildbuddy remote cache and remote build execution. What a time to be alive.

I've been working extensively on the @bazelbuild ruleset for @ziglang this past 12 months. In today's release: - Integrate zig with any other language - Use a Zig compiler compiled from (your) sources - Cross language LTO - ZLS support - Translate-C

devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/introd… This sounds awesome: run the game to collect data, feed it back into compiler to optimize based on runtime data, repeat in a loop until happy. I’ll have to give it a try.

@Vish_owl @OfficialLoganK Thanks!

@kkpattern @OfficialLoganK Hey Kai, you just need to return thought signatures

Gemini 3.5 feels like the start of a new era for Gemini, we spent the last 2.5 years putting the infrastructure, products, team, etc in place (learning lots of lessons along the way). The model is the product, please keep the feedback coming!

I wonder how much of Gemini 3.5 Flash's improvement comes from thought-preservation.

I got an email this morning of a new PR against EZ-Tree. Someone added custom rounded normals to the leaves. Looks so damn good I can't get over it! I never knew about this technique. Will get it merged in tonight pending everything looks good.

Almost 10 months since I started this project, and 7 months since the first fully playable build. Day by day, progress often feels small. But when I look back, all those small steps added up. Here is a before/after comparison of Legion Draft.

I've always been passionate about games and they've played a big part in @GoogleDeepMind’s history, as the perfect proving ground for AI. Thrilled to announce this research partnership with @FenrisCreations - @EveOnline is one of the most extraordinary games ever built and has an amazing community. Very excited to work with @HilmarVeigar and the team!
